Wondering how's the upscaling on these. I have a huge dvd collection, and from what I've seen on many normal and expensive 1080p tvs, I would be guaranteed better quality on a 720p tv.
And yes, some companies still make them.

The Bad:
--DVD quality is kinda crappy. These were played through a Sony BD player. It actually seems a bit better played through a cheap DVD player but still isn't great.
--Standard Def TV kinda crappy
--On mine (LCD) the heat that rolls off this thing is nuts. It puts off more heat than the old 50" Panasonic plasma I have in my bedroom. May not be a problem with the LED so keep that in mind.

All in all, for a non-primary TV I'd be in. Checking newegg now for the better price and if I can't find it I'll buy one of these for the kids.

Bought this during the last sale. It seems pretty decent so far. DVDs looked lousy with my old DVD player, but that is to be expected without upconversion. I haven't yet tested with my new upconverting Blueray player.

On the other hand, both Netflix at 720p out of the Roku and OTA broadcast channels look great. I recommend using the auto-aspect mode, which lets the picture format fit the input, rather than stretching to fit for sd signals.

I don't know the specs on your model. This one shows 61 watts when on. This will generate the same heat as a 60 watt light bulb. Since it will be spread out it should not be a problem. And it is a lot less than the small CRT TV that I am replacing with this.

I looked it up and it appears to be rated at 100 watts. There is WAY more than 100 watt light bulb heat coming out of it though.

Either way, with the price drop here I picked up one of these LED units.
